Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 377 Ultimate Knights
Gordon was so emotional after winning the dunk contest that he kissed the belated trophy hard.

Everyone cheered and applauded for him. Just because of Gordon's last dunk in the final "because the full score is 50 points", he deserved the championship.

Hansen also applauded Gordon. The world has lost an "uncrowned dunk king" and gained a "real champion".

After the dunk contest ended that day, Hansen gave Jones a gift, a Mercedes-Benz worth $150,000.

Wade scored 9 points to help Jones Jr. win the dunk contest for the first time in history, showing his protective nature and earning himself the title of 9-point man.

But this kind of thing can not only be achieved by giving away a championship. For a player like Jones Jr. who now has a two-way contract, it is more valuable to solve some problems in life.

Jones is now driving a second-hand car and plans to buy a new car to reward himself after the season ends. Hansen helped him realize his plan in advance.

Jones Jr. was so excited that he almost knelt down in front of Hansen on the spot. You have to know that at that time, the salary of a two-way player was only 7 per season!
Perhaps he could understand why Han Sen had such a good reputation in the league. No one understood the ways of the world better than Han Sen, who was born in Tokyo University and had lived two lifetimes.

Some fans who had complained on social media after the dunk contest that Hansen should at least give Jones Jr. the last 9 points, started praising Hansen after Jones Jr. took the initiative to post a photo with the car and thanked Hansen on social media.

Do not confuse the relationship between teammates with the game. Having Han Sen as a judge in this dunk contest not only gained popularity, but also brought very positive effects.

According to these fans' final words: This was a perfect dunk contest.

When the day's competition was over, the Cleveland All-Star Weekend had reached the final and most anticipated main competition.

The Quicken Loans Arena was extremely lively on that day, and even a large number of fans gathered in the square outside the arena. The scene was so lively that you would have thought it was the finals.

The stadium was also packed with fans. In the past few years, there has been an obvious gap in strength between the East and the West, but the captain system avoids this problem.

I don’t expect the two teams to play the entire game, but if they do play in the last quarter, the suspense and entertainment value of the game will be maximized.

When the game came to the opening stage, the fans' emotions were already a little uncontrollable.

Because this is the first time everyone has seen stars from the East and West appear in the starting lineup together.

James' team took the court first, with Irving being the first starter, followed by Durant and then Antetokounmpo.

At first glance, this seemed to be the starting lineup for the Eastern Conference team this year, but when Curry came on as the next player, a sense of intrusion and freshness emerged.

In fact, after the selection, there was another reason why Hansen wanted to win, which was the lineup of James' team. If Antetokounmpo was taken out of the starting lineup and Embiid on the bench was replaced, then James, Kudlow and Durant would be on the same stage, which was the starting lineup of the American Dream Team that he saw before he traveled through time.

Moreover, it is the pinnacle version.

After the warm-up, the game started quickly amid the cheers of the fans.

The first three quarters of the game were no different from previous All-Star Games, with both sides playing an exhibition game.

On Han Sen's team, since Han Sen was playing at home, his teammates were feeding him the ball.

In front of his own fans, Han Sen did not spoil the fun. He used all his skills one after another and satisfied the fans very much.

On James' team, James, Kuznetsuo and Durant also did their best.

In the summer of 2016, many fans imagined what kind of sparks Durant would create with Curry if he went to the Warriors. Unfortunately, Durant finally chose to join the Celtics.

What didn’t happen in reality happened in the All-Star Game. The pick-and-roll between the two super scorers was simply unstoppable.

In addition to the three-pointer, Curry even received a pass from Durant and performed a two-handed dunk, which directly excited the whole audience.

Looking at his excited celebration after the dunk, yesterday's dunk contest must have inspired him to some extent.

As for James, without Westbrook to steal the ball, he brought back a wave of memories for the Cleveland fans, showing what it means to be the best in fast breaks, and frequently performing tomahawk dunks on fast breaks.

Because there was no defense, neither side could defend the other. By the end of the third quarter, the score was 118 to 112, with James' team leading.

In terms of firepower alone, the James team consisting of James, Kuznets and Durant is still slightly better.

During the substitute transition period, the two sides had another seesaw performance. With 8 minutes left in the game, both sides were ready to enter the main rotation.

It was at this time that Stevens played a five-up-five game, showing his only presence in the All-Star Game.

As they were about to reach the technical desk, Han Sen called the five starting players to his side and made a request to them:
"I need you to do me a favor and help me win this game."

Winning the All-Star Game at home is a request that is not even remotely excessive.

Of course, everyone else knew Han Sen's strength. Han Sen's words seemed like a request, but in fact, he hoped that everyone else would really fight in the next 8 minutes.

Jokic certainly had no objection, and Harden and Thompson also nodded one after another. Although they were opponents on the court, they had great respect for Hansen in their hearts, and they had no reason to refuse Hansen's small request.

Finally, several people turned their eyes to Davis.

Davis should be the most special one. After all, he and James are teammates, and it can be said that it was an "accident" that he was selected by Hansen.

Moreover, Davis has a mild temper and is the only guy in history who can always serve as James' deputy even if he has to hold his nose.

But Davis nodded soon after.

When drafting players before, James did not choose him with the first or second pick. It is impossible to say that he had no idea at all.

Although that thought would not affect the relationship between him and James, it is not wrong to regard these 8 minutes as his "protest."

After getting everyone's consent, Han Sen also stretched out his hand and clenched his fist. Several other people followed suit and made similar movements, touching their heads together.

This common way of cheering in sports competitions can be regarded as an agreement reached between them.

At this time, the players from James' team had already walked onto the court.

After seeing what happened on the sidelines, several people turned around and looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

After the substitution, Hansen's team attacked first.

Because it is an All-Star Game, the head coach is just a figurehead, so even if some simple tactics have been trained before the game, when the game really starts, it all depends on the players' performance.

At this moment, Hansen's team is playing the pick-and-roll tactics, the pick-and-roll tactics between Hansen and Davis.

The reason for choosing Davis instead of Jokic is that Davis is the only player in the lineup with poor outside shooting ability.

Moreover, the person defending Davis is James.

James' team obviously didn't understand the changes on Hansen's team. With just a pick-and-roll, Davis blocked Curry and quickly cut into the basket.

Han Sen's alley-oop pass came directly.

Davis almost jumped into the air and the ball appeared in the most suitable position.

Then, there was a full-throated dunk. The scene instantly erupted in thunderous cheers.

Cleveland fans have seen many pick-and-rolls by Hansen and Jokic, but when it comes to Davis, the whole style suddenly changes.

After landing, Davis beat his chest excitedly.

It may sound unbelievable, but that was the most comfortable alley-oop pass he had ever received in his career.

Han Sen also showed his mean side. He stood there waiting for Davis to come over and then reached out and slapped Davis.

When James' eyes swept over, there was an inexplicable NTR feeling.

If the previous attack did not make James' team realize anything, then when the attack and defense changed, they realized the changes in Hansen's team.

Because the defensive intensity on the field has been directly improved by more than one level.

They are all All-Stars, and James' team immediately understood what was going on.

Irving had almost no hesitation and asked Antetokounmpo to play pick-and-roll.

Antetokounmpo cut into the basket after the pick-and-roll. Jokic knew that he couldn't defend Irving, and he also knew that Antetokounmpo had no shooting ability, so he chose to retreat in advance.

Harden is not good at going around screens, and Irving also seized this opportunity to step back and shoot a jump shot after the pick-and-roll.

However, as soon as the ball left his hand, he was slapped across the face and flew out of the court.

Davis let James come to double-team him in advance, and then came out from the side and blocked the shot directly!
This defensive coverage directly made the Cleveland fans at the scene wet their tears.

If the Cavaliers' power forward position was Davis instead of TT, the picture would be too beautiful to even imagine.

In James' team's sideline ball tactic, James passed the ball to Durant who came out to receive the ball with the help of Antetokounmpo's screen. However, when Durant received the ball and shot, Hansen had already used the puppy step to get around him, and then flew up to interfere.

With Jokic inside and Harden outside, Hansen's team's overall defensive ability is not strong, but with Hansen and Davis, the entire team's defensive coverage is directly supported.

Durant failed to defuse the bomb in the end, and the rebound was protected by Jokic.

At the same time, Hansen's team quickly launched a defensive counterattack. Harden received the ball and ran down the court quickly, while Hansen followed up from the other sideline.

At this time, the defensive problems exposed by James' team were much greater than those of Hansen's team.

They have Irving and James, and their ability to run fast breaks is very strong, but their ability to retreat on defense is far from perfect.

Harden advanced to the frontcourt three-second zone and directly performed an alley-oop with Hansen.

Hansen, who passed the ball in the previous round, received the pass from Harden and performed a violent alley-oop in this round.

The Cleveland fans at the scene really had a great time tonight.

118 to 116, the score difference was reduced to only 2 points in an instant.

Just at this moment, shouts of defense were heard at the scene.

Hansen's team has Hansen and Jokic. In a sense, the team on the court now is a strengthened version of the Cavaliers.

James tried to be a hero again, after all, he was the captain.

But Davis was really defending him. Even though he played a pick-and-roll with Antetokounmpo, his final shot was strongly interfered by Davis, and he was directly blocked and missed all three shots.

The fans at the scene couldn't help but whistle.

It seems that no matter whether it is a formal game or an All-Star Game, as long as it is a real high-end game, there is very little that James can do on the court.

But the good news is that because the ball went out of bounds without touching it, Team James doesn't have to worry about Team Hansen's fast break this time.

Han Sen dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and at this time James' team focused their defense on Han Sen.

Han Sen did not choose to force an attack, but passed the ball to Harden on the other side.

Harden received the ball and Jokic immediately set up a pick-and-roll.

Harden's breakthrough after the pick-and-roll successfully attracted Antetokounmpo's switch defense. He quickly pulled out and fed the ball to Jokic with a ground shot.

Because Hansen tied up the defense of other people, Jokic basically faced Irving one-on-one after receiving the ball. He basically used his body to crush Irving and score layups.

118 flat!
After the main players of both sides returned, Hansen's team launched a 6-0 offensive and directly tied the score!
James' team couldn't stop the attack from Hansen's team at all!

Jankudu, this sounds beautiful, but in fact it is a forced word.

Han Sen, who watched the Paris Olympics, knows that when the game reaches a high intensity, James is truly invisible, and the key still depends on the performance of Curry and Durant.

It's just that James doesn't seem to realize this, or he knows it but is unwilling to admit it or do it.

After all, he is the captain!

At critical moments, the captain should have the ball in his hands.

When James broke through the basket with the ball and tried to draw a foul, the referee did not blow the whistle.

The quality of the game in this section was so high that the referee didn't have the heart to interrupt it.

Hansen's team made another fast break. This time, after Hansen broke through, he passed the ball to Thompson who was following up on the sideline. Thompson made a three-pointer.

118 to 121, Hansen team directly overtook!
On James' team, D'Antoni reached out and called a timeout.

If they don't call a halt, James' team will be defeated.

The camera turned to the players of Hansen's team who were leaving the field, and there was huge applause and cheers at the scene.

This Hansen team, or the enhanced version of the Cavaliers, has been strengthened in all the right places.

Davis, needless to say, played at full strength on both offense and defense, especially on defense, completely making up for Jokic's defensive weaknesses.

Harden's presence also allows Hansen to directly take over the offensive baton when facing key defense and then quickly complete the offense.

Moreover, his advancement and passing in fast breaks made him and Han Sen like two sharp blades stabbing into the opponent's heart at the same time.

Thompson is the one who is overlooked but plays to his full potential. Whether in position or fast break, he can greatly open up the offensive space on the court.

This is not an enhanced version of the Cavaliers, but the ultimate version of the Cavaliers that cannot be assembled even in 2K.

Powerful and invincible!
